Seneca Kansas

Like Belleville, Seneca is another community we'd passed by numerous times, but never checked out.

And we're glad we did.

Cremo Cigars: founded in 1896, and get this:

The Miami, FL, company is still in business today.

Although cigars are little more expensive today.

We can clearly make out Hall, but not the word atop it.

And we can see the signature: Roderick.

The ghost sign is to the left, on the taller building. 
We cropped this to include the Seneca postcard-style sign on the right.

There's some disagreement, but some of us see the word "Flour"

along the top, towards the right side.

Sadly, Selz is not still in business. 

A Google image search turns up a number of other similar signs, many painted with blue.

And endorsements by Shoeless Joe Jackson.

On the west side of the building with the Cremo sign: Furniture?

Belleville Kansas

 

We'd driven by Belleville about a thousand times, but never through. 

We're glad we finally visited the Republic County seat, because it did not disappoint. 

One may argue that pop, candy and snacks qualify as tons of item inside, and that this isn't a ghost sign.

But what you don't realize is this is the same building as the "*AL DENTAL BUI*" too.

Something something Motors, and Storage, but also look to the left.

Would love to see this in all its glory.

Marysville, Kansas

We caught these in another trip out west. 

Along Hwy 36.

A many-layered sign, on the edge of town. We believe there's a Coca-Cola sign in there somewhere.

And not far away, a tobacconist.

There's another sign we just couldn't stop to collect.  But we did find it on Google Street View.
